Made a start on this in first lock down, however soon lost interest, so whilst waiting magic sculpt curing this morning, thought Id have another look at it...... Managed to part scratch build an interior (although a bit simplified, then added waste and magicsculpt 'ash') Need to turn turret ring etc tomorrow now.

So this will be a destroyed tank? Burned out?

I like the idea , 4 -6 pairs of tyreless wheels would be good also. Will you be marketing this one?

Wont be putting into production though, just a one off for fun :-)

The turret rings were very awkward, still need some clean up once dry
